The origins of PBooks is an interesting story. My boss took an accounting class in college, in the class he got a great grasp of how accounting works, but when he went to apply his knowledge to a program like Quickbooks, it did him no good. The program was confusing and didn't jive with all the info in his brain, so he did what any intelligent, tech savvy and extremely motivated person would do. He made his own program.
PBooks is the result of that endeavor. He has worked on it over the course of many years, and it has undergone many transformations. Even so, because PBooks is an open-source program it means the documentation on it is limited, and much like he became frustrated with Quickbooks, you may become frustrated with PBooks.
The best thing to help relieve that frustration and confusion is to make use of this blog. Make this the primary resource for your questions and comments. As a community we can make this free software more accessible and understandable for each other.
